Title: Blackguards flat 50's doing ZZ top! (now finished!)
Post by: Keven on March 22, 2013, 07:44:58 PM

So i started working on this cover in attempts to try out cleaner less gainy tones in my recordings. i'm not done and i still need to do the middle solo but i can't for the life of me find my slide!! the last solo has more of an adlib vibe so i just hit record and tried my best billy g impression.

anyway, warmoth tele with blackguards, 2 guitars, one with a ts808 and another through an MXR badass distortion. into a blackstar ht-1 amp, taking the speaker output to an attenuator and then into the computer with redwirez cab sims.

now to smoke enough cigars and do the vocals, that could be something fun to do tonight :)

blackguards rock!

EDIT: here's the full version with my attempt at the middle solo (first time ever recording with a slide, seriously!) and attempts at vocals as i'm trying to figure out how to control my voice so that's that...

That sounds killer - as a huge Willie G fan, I love it!
